I also like to use the front kick to stop upper cut. If I want to pick up just one single skill in all MA style, I’ll choice this one - front toe push kick against all punches.
Do you know how to down load clip from youku.com?
Very good vid. Someone earlier mentioned about current shin conditioning used in Thailand, I too wish it was gone over a bit more in this vid. But awesome vid no less.

Thanks! But why do you need to remove that program after? Are there any virus risk involved?

the only problem with the front push kick is its easy to turn off/sewwp aside and then if grappling is invloved you cant sprawl so the shots easier, actually i believe the seeping aside defence is used alot in thai against the kick
but i agree its a good technique and much under used in MMA
sorry guess i should have said more. program seems fine. it puts an interface on the toolbar of your browser. i just dont want more clutter on my screen thats all. plus i try to have as least amount of stuff on my computer as i can thats all. i ran it and seems perfectly safe though.
Greetings,
Frost,
I will use Tae Kwon D as an example.
The kicking methods of early Tae Kwon Do practitioners of the '60’s and '70’s are radically different from those of present day practitioners. Back then, the kicks were trained to stop someone dead, if not kill them. The flashy 540 degree type kicks did not exist back them. The kicks that were drilled were:
Front snap Kick (ball of foot, instep came later)
Side Thrust Kick (blade of foot)
Roundhouse Kick (ball of foot and instep)
Back Kick
Spinning Heel Kick (body held upward)
And they were not all kickers either, Their hands were something else.
These aforementioned kicks were seriously trained to do serious damage. Today, the emphasis is different. I have seen TKD players throw a kick only to fall because they made impact.
So when I say I have not seen the real thing when it comes to Thai boxing, I am not trying to start anything. I am telling it true. I have not. I would sure love to. That way I can see the evolution or de evolution of the art.

Not entirely true in the killing art book choi was trying to get his guys to leap over someones head and kick them in the back of the cranium before they landed. Even slapped someone for saying it was impossible.
Those fantastical kicks started coming into the picture pretty quick.
we have seen peoples legs break from thai kicks, we have seen limbs fractured, and permanent life long damage as well

Hi goju,
There were other Kwans besides that put forth by Choi. And I would not say that all of them loved him.

[QUOTE=Frost;1058283]what do you mean by the real thing?[/QUOTE]
he means Muay Boran and the ancient techniques Mae Mai Muay Thai, Lok Mai Muay Thai.
look, the traditional styles and techniques are still there they are just not as high percentage… sport Muay Thai is streamlined and uses the most techniques.
despite that there are some “street friendly” techniques from ancient Muay Thai, that IF you can pull them off will really injure someone that is why they are not used in sport, obviously.
so there are plus and minus, positive and negative… of both sides.
